Well-known complications of transcatheter shunt closure interventions are embolizations of devices. The initial procedure after embolization of a device is transcatheter interventions such as repositioning or retrieval with a sheath, bioptome or a snare. In some cases, surgical procedures may require and be privileged to reduce the harm to the patient. In this article, we report an eight-year-old boy who underwent surgical retrieval of Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder I device from the left pulmonary artery without cardiopulmonary bypass and discuss the safe retrieval techniques of commonly used devices.
